I did read what you said. Dial back the arrogant condescension.

Sure, your awkward run-on sentence might have been "safer"--but no guarantee Trump wouldn't have sued regardless.

George could have been even safer if he had pulled out the jury verdict form and read it word for word.

Or, he could talk like a normal human being--which is what he did.

As the judge said, ordinary people would say that the jury found Trump raped Carroll. And that is exactly what George, a lay journalist, said.

I did not say ABC paid $16M "for no reason at all." Please don't put such silly words in my mouth. I believe they did it out of fear and to ingratiate themselves to our dictactor-elect.

And it sure as fuck does matter at the end of the day. This sets a horrible precedent. This will further chill critical reporting of Trump. Trump's defamation/libel suits are basically SLAPP suits. They are about intimidation, to prevent people from saying critical things about Trump, a public figure. And now he will be filing a shit ton more of them, thanks to ABC caving.

You are not helping matters by defending this harmful cowardice by ABC.

ABC had the money to fight Trump and take it to trial. Most people, including many journalists, don't have that kind of money. How can we expect these smaller folks to be braver than ABC? This is horrible for our country.
